AdS/CFT-correspondence establishes a relationship between supersymmetric gravity (SUGRA) on Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space and supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory which is conformaly invariant (CFT). The AdS space is the solution of the…
Mack has conjectured that all conformal field theories are equivalent to string theories. We explore the example of the two-dimensional minimal model CFTs and confirm that the Mellin transformed amplitudes have the desired properties of…
AdS/QCD is an extra-dimensional approach to modeling hadronic physics, motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence in string theory. AdS/QCD models are often more accurate than would have been expected at energies below a few GeV. We address…
The past few years have witnessed a remarkable crossover of string theoretical ideas from the abstract world of geometrical forms to the concrete experimental realm of condensed matter physics. The basis for this --- variously known as…
The AdS/CFT correspondence is explored for ``partially massless'' fields in AdS space (which have fewer helicity states than a massive field but more than a conventional massless field). Such fields correspond in the boundary conformal…
Physical consistency of quantum fields in anti-de Sitter space time requires that the space must be compactified by the inclusion of a boundary where appropriate conditions are imposed. An interpretation for the presence of this boundary is…
We discuss the general question of which conformal field theories have dual descriptions in terms of quantum gravity theories on anti-de Sitter space. We analyze in detail the case of a deformed product of n conformal field theories (each…
Correlation functions of Logarithmic conformal field theory is investigated using the ADS/CFT correspondence and a novel method based on nilpotent weights and 'super fields'. Adding an specific form of interaction, we introduce a…
Using the exact solutions to the field equation for a massive scalar field on noncommutative $AdS_2$, we apply the $AdS/CFT$ correspondence principle to obtain an exact result for the associated two-point function on the conformal boundary.…
We study a class of dilatonic deformations of asymptotically AdS_5 X S^5 geometry analytically and numerically. The spacetime is non-supersymmetric and suffers from a naked singularity. We propose that the causality bound may serve as a…
In these lecture notes from the 2002 Cargese summer school we review the progress that has been made towards finding a string theory for QCD (or for pure (super)Yang-Mills theory) following the discovery of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We…
It is discussed to which extent the AdS-CFT correspondence is compatible with fundamental requirements in quantum field theory.
We elaborate a detailed study of certain aspects of (a version of) the AdS/CFT correspondence, conjectured by Maldacena and Witten, between quantum field theories in a gravitational background given by an asymptotically anti-de Sitter…
Light-cone gauge formulation of fields in AdS space and conformal field theory in flat space adapted for the study of AdS/CFT correspondence is developed. Arbitrary spin mixed-symmetry fields in AdS space and arbitrary spin mixed-symmetry…
Even though quantum chromodynamics is a broken conformal theory, the AdS/CFT correspondence has led to important insights into the properties of QCD. For example, as shown by Polchinski and Strassler, dimensional counting rules for the…
The AdS/CFT correspondence is established for the case of AdS$_3$ space compactified on a filled rectangular torus with the CFT field on the boundary.
We extend the correspondence between adS-supergravities and superconformal field theories on the adS boundary to a correspondence between gauged supergravities (typically with non-compact gauge groups) and quantum field theories on domain…
The AdS/CFT correspondence predicts a phase transition in Wilson loop correlators in the strong coupling N=4, D=4 SYM theory which arises due to instability of the classical string stretched between the loops. We study this transition in…
Light-cone formulation of conformal field theory in space-time of arbitrary dimension is developed. Conformal fundamental and shadow fields with arbitrary conformal dimension and arbitrary spin are studied. Representation of conformal…
We derive an eikonal approximation to high energy interactions in Anti-de Sitter spacetime, by generalizing a position space derivation of the eikonal amplitude in flat space. We are able to resum, in terms of a generalized phase shift,…
